    Address that problem quickly. After I bought and modified my magic gel cushion it still took about two months for the pain to disappear. It was like a deep bone bruise on my hip joints with a shooting pain down my left leg.

    I don't know why companies that advertise how much they care for their drivers think they can get away with saving $500 buying hard, cheap seats.

    Saw something impressive today.
    A road crew repaving a road. Consisted of about 15(?) trucks, paver, other equipment. All in one row. They were literally digging up the old pavement. Recycling it. Repaving with the recycled pavement. From vehicle one to the last. Dig up old road and lay new. All at one (basically) time.
    Never seen this done before like this. They covered many miles of road in one day. Quite an operation. I was impressed.

    Oh... My sweetie is really enjoying that purple cushion. Spending more time in the passenger seat.
    She really likes the curtains too. I put them up. She wants to lay on them. I can’t just put a curtain over the cushion. The gal who made them would decapitate me.

    They've been doing that for a few years; yes, it impressive to watch.
    The Germans have a contraption for laying railroad tracks.

    Prime made my day. A couple days ago. I was on 270 in Okla. About an hour north of I40 in a small town. 270 turns at an intersection that isn’t as big as it could be. I was turning right. A Prime truck pulled up to turn left, oncoming to my right. I started to go. Prime started then stopped. I had to pull in front of that left turn lane to make my turn. I could see in the Prime truck. Appeared to be training. Both wearing safety vests while driving kinda gave that away. I could see the trainer pointing at my trailer tandems and the curb. You know that’s why I had to pull in front of the left turn lane. To clear that curb on the corner. My turn was picture perfect. As I came around into my lane. I looked in the truck at the driver. Smiled and waved thank you. He enthusiastically waved back. He was obviously enthralled with what he was doing. This great attitude just made my day.
    In contrast... I’ve had Supertruckers cut me off in the same situation. And yes some Supertruckers being courteous also. It’s always the bad attitude that pulls cutting me off.
    I just want to publicly say that Prime’s training made my day.
